This book is a small valuable gem. I breezed through it within an hour, but it gave me multiple light bulb moments. Traditionally, let’s start from (a couple of): CONS 1. No Kindle version. C’mon! We have the 21st century here! Who am I, a caveman, to read the paperback version? 2. No summary at […]

I have so many issues with this book. Not because it’s bad. Rather, I know it could be so much better. So, I found numerous CONS and, as usual, will share them first. It doesn’t change the fact that Legendary is a very valuable book. Read my review till the end and you discover even […]

This book is VERY good. One of the best nonfiction books I’ve ever read (I’ve lost count, probably over 1,000 books). It doesn’t change the fact that there are some cons, and as usual, I’ll start with them. CONS 1. The Flaw The main con of the book is a piece of absolute, utter hogwash […]

It has a few minor weak points, but overall it’s amazing.       Traditionally, let’s start from the (minor) CONS 1. Not enough respect for the power of mind. James Clear considers the environment the biggest determinant of habits. And […]

This is a very good book about the power of journaling. It has some weaknesses, I found a few chapters very out of place in “Writing Your Soul Down,“ they seemed inserted there just for the sake of making the book longer (like the whole chapter about different names of God). But the actual core […]

I found this book to be a fascinating case study about human nature. Oh yes, this is the story about financial instruments and a big business catastrophe, and the author tried to explain the complex mechanisms of financial instruments in details. I applaud him for efforts, but not for the end results. I studied economy […]
